Chapter 413: Chapter 318: Reason (Revised) _1
“I also have a question. You, as the Master of the Void Path Realm, why do you accompany a young boy?!”
In mid-air, Jiang Hui slowly uttered, surrounded by blooming Flowers of the Taoist. Their continuous chanting and the encircling stars appeared dramatically, merely from speaking.
From this moment onward, the boy is his disciple. While the boy’s background is not important, Jiang Hui was still a little curious.
Similar to the boy with a half-demon body. Sadly, the boy remembered nothing, wasting his Gossip fire.
Overhead, the huge figure Jiang Hui transformed into spoke slowly, but each word left the old man’s face growing more shocked and disbelieving.
“The boy’s ancestors and I have a bond, waiting by his side is but to repay a favor. Nevertheless… how did you perceive my cultivation level?!”
As Jiang Hui’s voice fell, the old man’s dull eyes instantly became bright as stars and his antiquated body stood tall and straight.
The old man’s body straightened, emanating an awe-inducing aura that was completely opposite from before. He looked like a sharpened sword, appearing like he would draw it at any moment.
His gaze was sharp, sternly gazing at the towering figure overhead.
At this point, he knew very well that it was pointless to deny anything further. It would make him seem unreasonable.
But he was still filled with confusion. When did he expose himself? His disguise was perfect, having been undoubted for over a hundred thousand years.
“I didn’t perceive anything. If there is anything that I perceived, you can assume it’s just using my eyes!” Jiang Hui replied.
The old man pursed his lips as everything became clear to him.
The owner of this secret realm might have a gift similar to double pupils. They could see through the illusion and perceive the truth. Thus, even if he concealed his Void Path realm’s fluctuations, he couldn’t change his identity because the essence remained the same.
“So, your decision to keep me was because I’m a cultivator of the Void Path realm. It, in fact, had nothing to do with the boy!” said the old man suddenly.
“How thick-skinned are you Hierarchs? Where does this confidence of yours come from?! Your cultivation level, secrets, all of them are worthless to me. If my disciple had not mentioned you, why would I cast an eye upon you!”
In the clear sky, thunderous sound fell.
Although what the old man guessed wasn’t wrong, how could Jiang Hui admit!
“Is your vanity not a bit excessive?” The old man’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. The fluctuations of the Void Path realm surfaced, affecting the surroundings, and engulfing his body in dense runes.
He used to be a sect leader, ruling over numerous people with high status. If not respect, at least some politeness would be expected.
But no sooner had these words left the old man’s mouth, when a giant palm print of a thousand miles, descended from above.
Without even approaching, a terrifying wind started to swirl, numerous runes sprouted, the power of the laws cut through, flickering with dazzling light. It was as if a series of meteorites were rapidly falling. It was horrifying and dramatic.
Fortunately, they were inside a pavilion that emerged from the mist in the Secret Realm, otherwise tens of thousands of miles around would be devastated.
“Break it!” The old man’s face turned cold. He acted immediately, unleashing the full strength of the Void Path realm, transforming into a giant world-blocking hand, hurling upwards.
However, very soon, the old man was stunned.
Because his attack was like an egg crashing against a rock, completely crushed by that heavenly descending giant hand.
Then, in the old man’s panicked and astonished gaze, that giant hand shrank rapidly to several meters, and then, with a slap, sent him flying out.
Jiang Hui did not use his full strength, so the old man only suffered some minor injuries. But after he got up, he looked as if he had gone mad, it took him quite some time to recover.
He had considered that he might not be the opponent, but he did not expect to lose so quickly and get his eyes knocked out.
Who exactly is the owner of this Secret Realm?
For a moment, the old man was taken aback. He had thought about this problem before, but he did not delve into it. After all, looking around the Upper World Three Thousand States, there are countless Secret Realms, most of which are nameless.
But now, after getting a beating, the old man felt he should think about it.
At the very least, he needs to know who slapped him!
Although he is in the Void Path realm, because of his special constitution, he can even compete with cultivators with a slightly stronger realm. But now, he was beaten and he could not fight back, which frightened him.
To achieve this, the other party must have a much higher realm.
The opponent is very likely to be in the Escape One realm, beyond the Beheading Me realm, an old monster who has lived for countless years!!!
But he couldn’t figure it out after thinking about it. If it is indeed the Escape One realm, the era is too long ago. The epochs involved far exceed imagination, and it is not recorded in the history books. It is usually hundreds of millions of years. Apart from some very famous ones, most of the time there is no name left.
After all, this realm, although extremely powerful, is not as earth-shattering as the Supreme.
“Now, can you tell me about your relationship with the boy?!”
As the old man pondered, Jiang Hui’s voice sounded.
“In fact, I don’t have much to do with the boy, just because the boy’s mother helped me in times of crisis.
At that time, I failed to attack the Beheading Me realm, suffered severe backlash, and couldn’t use rune power for decades. As I was alone, I almost starved to death on the streets. It was the boy’s mother who secretly gave me some food to survive.
I still remember that she was just a seven or eight-year-old girl. Her life was full of hardships, and she died in her twenties.
I had no way to repay her, so I treated her child as my grandchild, protecting him silently. I don’t know where this boy offended a group of mysterious people, if it wasn’t for me, he would have probably died a long time ago!”
The old man pursed his lips, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes as he narrated the full story.
There are no complicated plots, just a simple story.
Jiang Hui.
The reason why the boy attracted a group of mysterious people was likely because of the Blood of the Sky Demon.
Fortunately, the old man was guarding him, otherwise, he might not have even survived his childhood.
In this case, Jiang Hui should actually thank the old man for silently helping his disciple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to recruit such an unrivaled young man with so much potential.
“Master, it’s not that I do not want to surrender, just that there are some personal matters that need to be resolved. After I am done, I will definitely come and see you!” Perhaps he got to know him better through the beating, the old man’s words were certainly not as stiff, he solemnly said.
“If there are any problems that you can’t resolve, you can also come and find me!”
Jiang Hui spoke.
“Thank you, Master!” The old man’s eyes were slightly red.
…
The afternoon sun was particularly warm. After bidding farewell to the boy, the old man rushed to leave and promised to see him soon.
But compared to when he came, the old man had an additional Guiding Stone in his hand.
